DUNHAM IS NOW IN CUBA Thus Declares a Seaman Who Knew the Fugitive Intimately. ESCAPED TO SEA AS A STOWAWAY. Appeared on the Deck of the Ship St. John When Far From Land. SAILED AROUND THE HORN TO NEW YORK.

There the Campbell Murderer Embarked en the Filibustering Steamer OREGON CITY, Jan. John W. C. Green, who has been hiding in this city for the past two days, having deserted the British ship Lord Elgin, which left Portland for Capo Town last week, tells a seemingly probable story about the escape from this country of James Dunham, who murdered the McGlincys near San Jose, on the 27th of last May. Green says that in April and May he worked on the ranch of Bernard Murphy near San Jose, and during a part of that time Dunham was a fellow-laborer with him on the ranch.

At the end of May Greeu went to San Francisco and stopped at Peter McManus' boarding-house, but shipped on June 5 as second officer of the American ship St. John, with a full cargo of wheat and flour for New York. WheTT seven days out, while the vessel was off tne Mexican coast, a stowaway showed up oti deck and Green recognized him as Dunham. Dunham appealed to Grsen not to reveal his identity, to call him Brown and treat him well and gave the officer $60 in gold. At the mate's request the stowaway was assigned to liia watch and put to work as a seaman.

The St. John haa a rather Blow passage and did not arrive at New York until November 17. Green and Dunham went ashore together and near the wharf met an officer of the filibustering Bliip Bermuda. Thi3 greatly pleased Dunham and he at once made arrangements to go to Cuba. The vessel left port the next day and Dunham went with it.

Green claims that was the last he saw of the murderer, whom he did not then know to be a murderer. In explanation of his ignorance of the McClincy massacre Green says he seldom looks at a newspaper, being addicted to novel-reading to such a decree that ail his spare time is thus employed. Dunham at first supposed that Green Knew why he was traveling as a stowaway and talked to him about the murder, but when he found that the mate had heard nothing about the affair he turned it eff as a joke and said he was makine the trip for the sake of adventure. In New York, Green says, he happened to run across an old advertisement for Dunham, and then he looked up a newspaper file in a water-front saloon and learned all about the matter. He went The Filibustering Steamship Bermuda, on Which Murderer Dunham Is Said to Have Escaped to overland to San Francisco, and thence immediately to Portland.

Duntvam professed to be wholly unskilled in the work of a sailor, but Green says that could hardly nave been true, for the third time he was sent up he could furl a royal or a topgallant sail as well as anybody. He was regarded as the most reliable lookout on the ship. He was active and quick to learn, and made an excellent sailor. Green represents himself as a graduate of the University of Virginia, class of '86, and his writing and language do not contradict the claim. He says he has followed the sea off and on for more tlian four mostly on the Pacific, and his weather-worn appearance bears out the assertion.

is now 28 years old. His parents, he live in San Francisco, his father being in the drug business. He swears his story is true, and there is no way either to prove or disprove it here. Green left for Francisco to-night. CUB Ay IiUIUKS FEU TO JDOOS.

Horrible Practices of With the of Thfir NEW YORK, N. Jan. The Sun's Havana special says: The Spanish newspapers here violently attack the American representative, Mr. Money, for violating the laws of war proclaimed by the Spanish authorities and which forbid all investigations in the military camps not expressly sanctioned by the commander-in-chief of the army. fx Horribie details are known in Havana of the assassinations last week at Guanabacoa by orderof the Spanish Major, Fondeviella.

The bodies of the young base- 1 ball players, Pistorzia, Parra and Casiillo, murdered 'by the troops without cause, were left to tbe dogs to be eaten. The families of the three unfortunate young men applied to Fondeviella, asking permission to bury the bodies. "Bodies of Cubans, 1 answered Fonrteviella, "are lit only to feed to dogs." The mothers and sisters who called on the cruel Spanish commander, hoping that their sacred request would granted, left him in tears, crying to heaven for revenue. About eighty Cuban families left JAMES DUNHAM, THE FUGITIVE MURDERER. John.

Green, a deserter from the British ship Lord Elgin, who is now at Oregon City, declares that tha slayer of tne McGlincy3 escaped to Cuba. He says that Dunham sailed around the Horn on the American ship St. John, in which he left San Francisco as a stowaway. At New York, Green asserts, Dunham embarked on the filibuster Bermuda for Cuba. Guanaboco for Havana, terrorized by the massacres and the present insecurity of life.

Weyler does not pay the attention to the charges made against Fondevielia, and says the latter is merely doing his duty. In Havana the same terror prevails and the only Cuban families remaining in the capital are those who have relatives or acquaintances among the Spanish authorities, or those who are absolutely without means to leave the country. Among the latter the men do not know what their iate may be from day to day. Arrests are made daily, the charges being only that the accused sympathize with the insurgents. It is not true that General Gomez has issued a proclamation ordering his troops to retaliate against the Spanish barbarities.

It is said here, however, that Gomez has written to Weyler, telling him that ii the Spanish policy of assassinating Cubans continues and also the massacre of pacincos and wounded, he will be obliged to retaliate. "Yours and only yours," says Gomez, ''will be the responsibility for such barbarous warfare before history and humanity." In his march to the west Gomez has forces of cavalry ana his infantry is well provisioned witli munitions. J-lV FULL RETREAT. Will Not Attempt to force the Cameron Jietolutions. WASHINGTON, IK C.

Jan. the Cuoan resolutions were not discussed in the session of the Committee on Foreign Relations this morning, owing to the absence of Mr. Camerou, the mem- hers of the committee talked about the resolutions informally after the other business had been finished. It seems certain trora the temper of committee that if the effort is made to have the Cameron resolutions referred back to the committee there will be a bitter light, and the committee will indorse its action in ordering the report and resolution which are now on the calendar. Such effort is not anticipated, fer Mr.

Hale and those who are with him are satisfied with the present condition of things and will do nothing to start the agitation. Members of tbe committee appreciate the strength of the organisation that has been effected to prevent final action by the Senate, and there appears to be a tacit understanding that the resolution shall not now ba pushed. A sufficient number of Senators have been arrayed on the other side to protract debate, and the friends of tha resolutions nnd that by rushing them they will pass no appropriation bills. The present indication appears to be against action on tbe Cameron resolutions. TAKES FOR IHE TB.UEB FRIXSItS Atlantic Coast Tug Pursued by the American 1 miser Raleigh.

The Raleigh circled around the Luckenbach, first crossing her bow some distance ahead, and then gradually swinging around to follow her cloielj. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1897. Captain "Willem is proud of his boat, which is one of the fastest of the kind on the coast, and as his papers were all right he determined to give the cruiser a chase.

She had made no signal ordering the tug to heave to, so all steam was crowded on and she plowed her way along at a fourteen-knot gait. A cloud of black smoke trailing after the Raleigh indicated that she was giving chase. She was well astern, however, having lost in coming around. Four hours passed in this pastime, and then a puff of blue smoke and a report that came echoing over the water from the Raleigh told Captain Willem that he was eSpected to lie to. He did so with promptitude, a boat was lowered from the cruiser and an officer came aboard.

He examined the papers, asked questions and then told Captain Wiliem that he might go on. His boat had been mistaken for the Three Friends. USDER BRSTESC.E OF DEATH. Amerietn Xewtnaper Correspondent Jtoowd to in Cuba. WASHINGTON', D.

Ex- Deputy Clerk Landsborough Held for Trial for Forgery and Presenting Fraudulent Jury Demands.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. L.M. Landsborough of the Sacramento delegation is again in trouble, as the Grand Jury to-day found five more indictments against him, and it is rumored that the end is. not yet. Of the indictments brought to-day two were for forgery and three for presenting fraudulent jury demands, and it is claimed that the lull amount of his peculations is not known even yet.

Assemblyman Landsborough has been in the County- Clerk's office for nearly four years, and until the records the office for that period have been examined it will not be known how much Sacramento County has suffered financially at the bands of this servant ot the people. Landsboroueh is occupying his seat in the Assembly and assisting in perfecting laws i to govern the people. In the indictments brought to-day bail was fixed at $1500 in case. This is a very material reduction from the amounts fixed in the first indictments, which were $5000 each, but was afterward reduced to $2500.

DUBOIS LEADS IN IDAHO. His Return to the "Senate Made Practically Certain by the Quarrel of Fusionists. SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. The Populist contingent of the Idaho Legislature threatens to frustrate the plans of the Democrats to elect their United States Senator by either scattering its votes among candidates who have no chance, and thus preventing uny election, or by voting for Dubois, the silver Republican. The Dubois supporters appear to bold the balance of power, and unless the quarrel between the Democrats and Populists is made up the election of Dv Bois is considered exceedingly probable.

li the fusionists do come together again, which is problematical, the plum will go to either Johnson, Democrat, or Claggett, Populist, but at this time Dubois is thouht to have the best chance of any of the candidates.

Half of the Liquid Is Spilled, but the Rest Is Drained to the Dregs. REDWOOD CITY, Jan. Frank William Goepfert committed suicide here this morning by taking a dose of strychnine.

SAN MATEO SENSATION. County Board of Education Accused of Favoritism in Granting Teachers' Diplomas. REDWOOD CITY. Jan. 6 of Education, examinations, Grand Jury, Supervisors, these half-dozen words whispered to any citizen of San Mateo County would immediately suggost a story which has aroused considerable feeling throughout the county, wherein the Board of Education and the teachers of certain of the public schools figure most conspicuously.

A few months ago the Board of Education held examinations for the granting of diplomas. After the result liad become known, those who were successful were, of course, jubilant, and those failing were naturally disappointed. Had this been all, there would probably have been an end to it then and there; but the successes and failures were of such a nature that the matter was not allowed to be dropped. One of the leading citizens of this place toik the matter in hand and carried it for investigation before the Board of Supervisors, iie addressed a comnSunication to tnera and appeared personally to press the case. He particularly called attention to the fuct thar all of the applicants Irom Menlo Park, San Mateo, YVoodside and out of nine frotn Halfmoon Bay passed the examination, whiie only five out of twelve from Pescadero and five out of nineteen from Redwood City were successful.

He thought it rather strance that in schools only a few miles apart, wnere the studies were the same, tnere should be such a wide difference in the results of the xaminauon. He asued the of Supervisors to appoint some suitable and disinterested person to examine the papers, at ttie same tims offerins to defray all expenses out of his own pocket. The board considered that it had no authority in the matter, and the affair was temporarily dropped. As soon as the Grand Jury was formed the case was broueht to its attention, and the jurors deemed it of sufficient importance to receive their consideration. They so informed the Board of Supervisors through their foreman, and askea that an appropriation irom the county funds of $200 be voted for the Hiring an expert to review the examination papers, and report, together with any opinion or recommendation wh-ch he consider proper.

On this suggestion the board allowed the $200, and sek-cted an expert from Berkeley, who srill at once commence work. The result of his investigation is awaited with interest, as the affair has attracted more than ordinary attention throughout the county. The Grand Jury will make its report on the 20th of this month. FRESNO'S TREASURE CACHE. Finders of Bandit Murietta's Hoard Will Return to Prospect for More.

FRESNO, Jan. 6. Ex- Deputy Constable J. G. Wofford still refuses to divulge any further particulars regarding the find of the Joaquin Murietta treasure, unearthed by himself and a Iriend near the Firebaugh graveyard, in the western portion of the county, recently.

He cannot be prevailed upon to tell who hi? friend is, where he is or what ha 3 become of the fortune, which amounts to something like $147,000. It may be tnat the amount is exaggerated somewhat, buc there is hardly any doubt that treasure was discovered. Wofford says that he intends in a few days to return to the spot where the treasure was unearthed and do some "placer mining." He believes that in the haste of himself and his companion to get the trunk out of the ground tney lost several gold pieces. The trunk had decayed and they had to take it from the earth in pieces. The bags in which the gold was found had also rotted, so that hardly hold together, and the treasure had to be lifted out by hand by the finders: The sight of the large amount of yellow metal of course excited Wofford and bis friend and they did not use the greatest care in handling the The exconstable thinks that $500 or 5630 mig lit have been lost in the dirt, and it is for this that he is going to use the pan.
